                            HON. MARK UDALL

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 6, 2001

  Mr. UDALL of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to both honor and 
thank Ms. Joy Fisher for her astounding dedication to her volunteer 
work. Over the past decade, Ms. Fisher has spent many hours 
volunteering at the Colorado Bureau of Land Management, the Seniors' 
Resource Center and the Library of the Blind. The time she has 
dedicated to the BLM, alone, totals more than 15,600 hours.
  Beyond the numerous hours Ms. Fisher has donated, this 89-year old 
woman deserves credit for her courtesy, professionalism, optimism and 
her love of life. She has earned the respect of those who know her and 
made all those whom she has helped feel welcome. Her dedication and 
hard work should serve as an inspiration to us all.
  Ms. Fisher's selfless commitment to volunteerism, her passion for 
life and her dedication to those organizations she works for is 
admirable. Mr. Speaker, I would again, like to thank her on behalf of 
the people of Colorado.
